Hey, that reminds me of a cool little script I wrote. I had an assignment where I had to convert lots of numbers from decimal to binary, and each converstion had to be accompanied by tediously high amounts of working out. Being lazy, out came Perl and out came a nice script which printed out the working for each question. Woohoo! It was something like:

20 / 2 = 10 rem 0 
10 / 2 = 5 rem 0 
5 / 2 = 2 rem 1
2 / 2 = 1 rem 0
1 / 2 = 0 rem 1 

Therefore 20 in binary is 
10100
